5FT Barn Door Hardware Kit: Double Sliding Door Hardware - Black Barn Door Track Kit - J-Shape Easy to Install for 30" Closet Panel(No Doors)

So the hardware is great and the company even better. Reach out to them and they help you get exactly what you need. Here were my conundrums during installation: First, I needed to use one of the hollow wall fasteners. It wasn't load baring but it was to keep the track from flopping around on the end. The hollow wall fasteners sent are for standard drywall. I was too cheap to buy standard drywall when I built the room so the fastener didn't work. A quick trip to the hardware store and I was back in business. All that to say, if you used thinner drywall, you will need different fasteners than those provided. Next, and most importantly, the placement of the inner brackets on the doors. The pictures all show the brackets on the edges of the door. It looks amazing! However, if you actually place them there, the doors won't shut. The wheels stick out beyond the brackets and won't allow them to close. Don't make this mistake because drilling new holes aren't really an option. Pay attention to the wheels. I ended up correcting this mistake by purchasing HVAC pipe insulation tubes and putting those as buffers on the doors. Looks a little weird but not too bad. It did have a nice secondary affect in protecting the walls since I have an intentional 3" gap to the floor for airflow into the room. Finally, the directions are quirky and a bit difficult to follow at first. Just know that if it has two measurements, the second one is from the first measurement, not the starting point. Otherwise, great! Very smooth roll.

This Barn Door rail as shown in my picture installed with very few issues. The Rail and parts are of very high quality. Installation Instructions were well written. Issue # 1 - Box was slightly damaged when received, but there were no damaged parts. The only issue was I was missing one bolt, washer, nut for the plate that joins my 2 - 6 ft. pieces. Call to the vendor - I had replacement parts in 2 days. Issue # 2 - I did not want to use a support board behind the rail, because I had put extra studding support behind the wall specifically for a future Barn Door Rail. Call to the vendor - they sent me a complete set of longer spacers, also received within a few days at NO charge. I changed my mind afterword and decided to put a support board in place anyway to give the rail more support - highly recommended. Issue # 3 - I could not figure out the best method for installing the Floor Guides without having to temporarily removing a bolt. Question into Vendor - I received an answer within 24 hours which provided the best procedure to follow - eliminating the need to remove any bolts. Bottom Line, Product Support is equally as important as Product Quality. I am giving the Product / Vendor a 5 Rating because both criteria was met very successfully.

15ft rail came in 4 short pieces which makes installation a bit more cumbersome, but overall the product works well. It was exactly what I needed.

End results: Work great, look great, heavy duty too! Instructions arrived shredded, but thanks to the internet, we were able to change our hinged TV cabinet doors to barn doors. Some measurements in the instructions are off, FYI, so always measure twice before drilling holes. The doors work great now, would definitely do it again, just be careful with the instructions.

My husband and I bought a fixer-upper. And in order to save money we have been DIYing everything. We took down a closet in our house and we had closet doors that I up-cycled cut in half to use as shutters on the inside of the house. I used this barn door hardware and attached it to the old doors/ shutters. It was super easy to install and the glides roll perfectly smooth. We will be renovating our basement soon, and I already plan on ordering another set for down there!

The instructions were pretty good, but one thing that puzzled us was the step where the round things were installed on the front/top of the doors. It keeps the door from jumping off the track. I don’t think it mattered how far from the door hangers we put them. We put them about an inch inside the hangers on both sides. We have trim, so we had to build out the “header” so that it was flush with our existing trim so that the door wouldn’t hit on the bolts on the wall side of the door. Our door is 1 3/4” thick. For the doors to close all the way, we had to put the door hanger/roller on the inside of the door trim. The thing you have to strongly consider is the depth off the wall if you have trim and that the hangers are placed such that the doors closes all the way. We didn’t use the floor guide hardware that came with the kit because we don’t have a router. I’m glad we didn’t because it took so long for us to paint the door trim that the doors warped a little. We bought some that screw into the wall and you can adjust the base with different rollers. Make sure your wall is super flush and straight and I guess shim if necessary. Our wall bowed slightly on the right side and the rail is so rigid (for obvious reasons) that it scrapes a little on the right when we close the door. I think I will put an extra washer or two behind that one screw on the rail to straighten it out. We followed the directions precisely, and the height they said in the instructions worked out perfectly. It left about a half inch gap at the bottom of the door for air return when closed. The rail connector didn’t hold it level, and wasn’t as sturdy as I would have liked, so we didn’t connect them until we had one side hung completely. We took our time and it took about 4 hours from start to finish.

This is very heavy and sturdy. I can’t use it for my current project but I’m keeping it to use later. I intended to use it for my spare room closet and the doors aren’t heavy and only 1” thick. This item would be better for a larger door

Everything looks great and I am in the middle of installing and just realized that I am missing sections of the 6.6 ft rail. I don't want to return, as the product seems great, I just need my missing parts ASAP.
